the most appalling part of this political era is the physical harm they are inflicting on innocent people but secondary to that i find the constant smug lectures from this country's biggest collection of hypocrites, scammers, perverts, pedophiles, and overall bozos very distasteful

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

This is going to be a fascinating experiment in policy feedback - it’s very clear that the link between real world material policy and political views has been greatly weakened. But to what extent, and how bad do things need to get to break through the media environments? We’ll see…

Trump's brain has been thoroughly cooked but he name-drops a pro-tariff President most Americans likely have never heard of. He is serious about this
It should have been an enormous tell to everyone when he started referencing McKinley by name

Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie
Flat on this bed, that by them may be shown
That this is my south-west discovery,
Per fretum febris, by these straits to die,"

You have to understand that they hate you. Yes you, the educated liberal or leftist reading this on educated lib-left dot com. They took away AIDS medication from children for the specific purpose of making this video to trigger you. Triggering you is the goal and they will murder children to do it.
Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?

This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

this is the stuff that really gets under my skin
China, Russia and India have dispatched emergency teams and supplies to earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. So have Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The U.S., the richest country in the world and once its most generous provider of foreign aid, has sent nothing.
Trump’s U.S.A.I.D. Cuts Hobble Earthquake Response in Myanmar
While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.

This kind of action—ya know, politicians doing politics against an unpopular foreign billionaire shadow president—might be more valuable for the Democratic Party than making a Democratic House candidate’s unidimensional ideological position somewhat more moderate. Just spitballing here

its like the “unhappy family” quote. there’s different motivations for different clumps of people. i think an under-discussed one is simply decadence. there’s a certain class of right-leaning commentator for whom this is just a game

"Angry, disappointed, frustrated"--Scientists were making progress on vaccines and antivirals for the next pandemic--until this week, when the Trump administration abruptly told them to stop. Here's my story with @apoorvanyt.bsky.social Gift link: nyti.ms/43Xz77q
H.H.S. Scraps Studies of Vaccines and Treatments for Future Pandemics (Gift Article)
Federal officials cited the end of the Covid-19 pandemic in halting the research. But much of the work was focused on preventing outbreaks of other pathogens.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

what are we to make of the fact that there seems to be a lot less churn in the second trump white house compared to the first?

probably evidence for him being a lot more senile/controllable by those around him

You definitely don’t need to be one yourself, and there are principled arguments about observing vs. driving public opinion, all that said, the way that some people on here are viscerally opposed to “those pollling data nerds!!” is pretty pathetic.
